    You just stay in the house and lock yourself away and the people who want to get on with life will.

    Hope none of your close family or any of your friends catch the virus …… if they do it might change your opinion / attitude to it

    Healthy 48 year old male taken to hospital end of April died 8 days later … … Brings a bit of reality to it when is someone you know 

    Anyway you away down the park and play all you want with your mates

    We are coping at the moment what is competitive football going to do that makes it so much worse?

    Take it your one of those that think it was ok for a bus trip from the Rhondda to Racing at Doncaster that the were not even going to be allowed into was ok !!! 

    This virus thrives on enclosed space a contact the sooner a lot of people realise that the better. Instead of this I’m all right jack attitude

    Coping … … Your having a laugh ……… how many areas have been put in to some sort of restrictions????

    Right so rugby player goes to party gets Covid it’s okay there allowed to keep playing no punishment and that’s on top of fans getting preference compared to football but when football players did it games suspended players punished clubs punished and wee Nik threatens to cancel everything aye good one lol 

    Agree with your basic point …… but the only reason it was detected was because there testing players twice a week.

    WoS player has asymmetric symptoms trains and plays with 20 other guys …… say he unwittingly infects 15% of his team mates that’ll be 3 who could go on to infect others 

    So until we can test that is going to be the problem for all at our level

    SPFL teams saying they won’t play Team from Championship and below unless they are tested can see why there asking for this as it blows everything that they’ve put in place out the water unless they are tested.

    Got a feeling that the players can't wait to get started, whether that's no changing rooms and showers etc. Hope the fans can be sensible, let's get it on. That way i can pay another visit in November, selfish i know ! !

    Not saying they don’t want to play but if 1 tests +ve could end up with 3 or 4 others having to quarantine … … 14 days off work who pays their wages ??

    As sad as it is no death is acceptable but life can’t stand still forever as bad as this virus is we have to find a way to move forward as standing outside watching football is nowhere near as risky as going to shops pubs out for meal Etc  as I said before the lower leagues should and could have fans no problem even more so than premier clubs I wonder how many of the people on here who keep saying it’s to dodgy have been out for a pint and dinner and supermarkets without worrying at all most if not all I bet 

    Don’t think the problem is with the fans … … The players are the problem !!!!

    There's nothing so far from the SG to suggest that the season definitely won't be given the green light on Oct 5th, so for now things are in wait and see mode. If the new cases trend plateaus and then starts to dip again and the number of deaths is still flatlining then all should be OK.

    This is the latest update from WoSFL

    The indicative start date for the new season was scheduled for Saturday 10th October. This however can not be confirmed as a Scottish Government review is due on Thursday 1st October. This review will affect our ability to commence with the new season, with any changes identified coming into force from Monday 5th October. Therefore the IMG are recommending that the indicative date for the start of the new league season be put back by 3 weeks, in line with the timescale of policy reviews by the Scottish Government, to Saturday 31st October. This however MAY change depending on the impact any future announcements from the Scottish Government would have on clubs ability to start the season.

    This is only a small percentage of the email but it gives some info on start or non start details

    You have to trust them to socially distance and how do you police it? In the SPFL, seats are being used with sections /seats cordoned off. Really hard to do that sort of thing on terraces. Also the fact that ground standards are non existent in the ex Juniors / Juniors etc... hygiene measures for starters are lax.

    The Scopttish government have a far bigger bat to wield when it comes to non-compliance than the populist muppets down south who seem to now be reaping what they've sown. Really can't see it being open season on our terraces any time soon. But hope is always good.

    Don’t think fans on the terracing is a problem for our grade.

    The real problem is changing facilities and no one is coming up with how we get round this !!!

    We’ve just went too only 6 people from 2 households meeting indoors and were expecting 20 odd guys from all over the west of Scotland to meet up and get changed indoors … … It ain’t happening anytime soon and the sooner some people accept that and put a plan in place that is going to protect the majority of clubs at our level the better. Only a few and I mean a very small number will be able to meet any of the protocols that will be put in place.

    And before the normal suspects start shouting about football being played in the SPFL there are testing on a weekly basis and are only allowed 6 in a dressing room and are using hospitality boxes and gyms to achieve this.

    Oh and by the way just look at the numbers starting to rise exponentially and some areas got different lockdown rules from others 

    Some people on here need to get a reality check football at our level ain’t starting anytime soon

    if anything i can see the premiership starting albeit dont know what they are going to do re changing rooms , but im no so sure the other 3 leagues will start this side of the new year 

    Can you name the Premiership clubs who will come anywhere meeting the guidelines that are in place at the moment ??? 

    Unless these guidelines are significantly changed very few of them will come anywhere near to meeting them 

    Oh and I include Darrel’s super dooper new dressing rooms in that !!!

    Yes. Yes they will. 

    People seem to forget the most important part of this deal. David Turnbull himself. He'll go to the club that he wants to go. Now, its not for me to give that name away, but if you were to guess a club that play in green & white and play in the East End of Glasgow, you wouldn't be far wrong. 

    "Monitoring his situation". Daily Record pish. 

    Ahh well we’ll just have to wait and see .  If he plays or not on Thursday night will be a pointer

    In a previous post I set out what the SPFL teams have in place re changing facilities, until this is relaxed and new regulation put in place for them we are not going to see any football
    Tell me what’s the difference between 22 players kicking a ball about at Parkhead/Ibrox than 22 players kicking a ball about at say Auchinleck/Arthurlie 
     

    The players, coaches and officials at Parkhead/Ibrox are being tested twice a week.

    All the more reason that they shouldn’t have to go through all the palaver wi the changing rooms 

    I would say them getting tested and having all the restrictions in place regarding changing rooms makes it worse for us !!!

    How are they doing it in England then, if it's so difficult up here ? They have about ten times the infection rate.

    Listen mate I get you but more and more things are returning to something near normality not all of which i agree with either. The example you have given sounds severe and agree no way could our clubs get to that level. However ask yourself does this level of protection exist in your workplace or anybody else's on here. Certainly doesnt exist where i work and we get changed in locker rooms and use shower facilities etc. Football seems to be getting made an example of at the min but if you apply the same rules as we are all subject to i would see no problem getting started. However if teams are not complying and making their environment as safe as possible for both players and spectators then i would agree with you that its not possible to continue. 

    The point I am making what is the difference between 22 players playing at say Ibrox and 22 players playing at Auchinleck 

    I don’t see any,  so what goes at Ibrox will go at Auchinleck until they change the rules

    I guess you like your glass to be half empty. My point is football and sport in general bring huge benefits and should come as a higher priority than some activities that have had concessions granted. 

    No Boab I want football at all levels to get started as much as anyone on here .

    I’m just  being realistic with what we have at present and no matter what is said by anyone on here the JRG are the ones calling the shots 

    Will give you an example as to what an SPFL club have got to put in place other than testing.

    Home team uses the home dressing room, away dressing room and a hospitality areas underneath main stand that runs half the length of the main stand 

    Away team arrives not at the main entrance to the ground but at an entrance at the other end of the ground and enter the stand behind the goals. Hospitality box’s and a gym that is situated and runs the whole length of this stand is used as their changing rooms. Showing facilities have been installed in this stand for the away team.

    After the game all areas that have been used for both teams are deep cleaned.

    The home team can use the gym ( deep cleaned after every use ) until 48 hrs before the next home game when it is deep cleaned and sealed off till next away team arrives.

    Until the JRG drop the testing and relax these rules for the SPFL there is not a team at our level that could come anywhere near meeting this criteria.

    So Boab you could say I’m a glass half empty sort of guy … …  I just think looking at where we are I’m just not getting carried away about football at our level starting anytime soon.

    As it stands, the only adults that can train and play with full contact or in the premiership.as everyone knows, this is due to their stringent testing and rules.
    As they are still finding cases, I dont see how they can allow non league training or matches any time soon. Otherwise, the prem boys could just stop their testing?

    We have seen how 1 stupid guy waiting on test results and going to the pub anyway has spread like wildfire. That is the fear with opening up football.

    It doesnt generate any money in lower leagues, so it isn't a real priority to reopen, other than we all desperately want to see it.

    If teams flout rules (happening all over) then it strikes fear. one outbreak caused by a football match will see the end of football for a long time.

    SPFL players going out on the lash or off to Spain just reinforces the concerns and will kick the can further down the road.

    I might be wrong but I cannot see training restarting in just over a week.

    “ Big Boab Jnr “ will say … … you should be positive and look for solutions rather than have a negative attitude and constantly coming up with negatives … never mid reality.

    These would be different, they are on private property and no issues with obstruction. It would seem a bit strange if Hattrix and Sweepers etc were allowed to be open at the same time a game is being played, but you wouldn't be allowed to watch it.

    Each licensing board have there own bye laws …… in ours it is against the law to drink outside unless you have the appropriate license ( which cost money ) doubt may of clubs will have it

    Can you take booze outside on matchday usually? I don't recall pints on the terrace last time I was at GM (2 seasons back?).

    Your not supposed to take booze outside any pub/club/restaurant unless you have an outside license 

    Couple of bars just thought they could have couple trestles outside and call it a beer garden 

    The constabulary weren’t long in pointing them in the right direction and they were stopped

    On the Tunbull question - obviously he is fit now. Did that Celtic transfer just disappear or are they coming back in for him?

    I would prefer if you held on to him, but couldnt remember what the script was?

    They’ll want him for 2 bottles of Irn-Bru and a packet of crisps knowing Lawwell
